True
But fun is the end goal, while being as balanced as possible

I have a good plan to simplify and pseudo nerf cult alts but itā€™ll take me a while to get everything down

A) cult alts should be picked immediately upon conversion
so if the converted player doesnā€™t pick new abilities by the end of the day they should receive a random valid set

B) the whole architecture around cult points can be heavily simplified so itā€™s easier for everyone to understand

You could maybe disable all cult powers except for cult leader if there are 4 members

#25

thatā€™s unnecessary
the problem with that game was the ability to doublevote
which is an inherent problem with the noble
a change to that and pull rank should help quite a bit

Cult effectively had 9 votes that day due to Apostle + Maximus giving Orange more votes + Noz + Evil King

that shouldnā€™t happen
theyā€™d be 1 short of majority even with evil king if they couldnā€™t gain votes

If Insanity had sponsored Tw1light instead of bountying mole theyā€™d have 10 votes day 4

#28

Insanity was not hhed?

#29

He was, i was just proposing what if scenarios

#30

ironically if you had left your happy hour on orange noz would have died

#31

Still wouldnt have mattered tho

#32

true

#33

Do you have already a replacement in mind for one of the Nobleā€™s abilities that gives additional vote?

#34

Yes

#35

Honestly vote boosting powers are icky because they are confirmable too easily. Give it gossip.

Marl was going to make sponsor silent and function only when necessary like pull rank

I still donā€™t get pull rank and never will!

I like cult alts as you are dragging something from your original class to the cult.

Change my mind but I overall like this as generic cult classes are boring.

Also why would we remove something that works well. I mean we could nerf the uses on all abilities but still, itā€™s a nice feature

removing shit is always a last resort

#39

I think maybe changng unlimited use abilities to 3/4 would be a fair nerf

The most egregious aspect of that match was the Cult gaining majority despite having only a single mislynch the entire game, though. Scum effectively having three doublevoters from the start, as in Pull Rank, Sponsor, and a starting Devout King put the game in a state of MyLo ridiculously early.
